Let me spin you a tale.
Bid on fancy com unit. Short is left.
Wait a few minutes, less than 5, and look at window again.
Still "short" left, but: Outbid! Bid again!
etc~
Wait a few minutes, less than 5, look at window again.
Still short! When is this going to end! And I'm outbid! Bid again!
Oh but wait, the auction has ended! It would have been nice to see that when glancing at the window during the past few minutes. Even better to have seen the "very short" time left notice. But it did not update until I tried to bid. I bet I could have clicked the tabs around or spammed f5 or something, but... at least for the auctions we are bidding on, how about some kind of automatic update when the time goes down? It only happens once an hour or less.
Pretty please?
no, its a cheap but effective last second/minute bidders proof wall in the AH, but make it more easier to read, like less than 5 minutes, less than 1day ect.
